Gearbox issues!!!
 

Hey guys,

I've done a search and cant find any info to help, I got an my04 wrx and the problem is i cant engage any gear its like its jammed, so i checked the oil level and its fine, the clutch seems good there's no sign of slipping. Its only just happened today. Does anyone have any ideas??

define can't engage, gear stick won't move, you get grinding, gear stick feels like it sleects a gear but does nothing etc..

That shouldnt happen.

How do you drive your wrx, hard or easy? Stock clutch?

Try going for the gear then letting out the clutch a little while still selecting and it usually allows it in.

Yeah stock clutch, double d's so i been driving it easy over the past few days..

How did you drive it before dd? Heard a bloke took his car to the drags then a week later drivin normally gearbox blew up.

Rofl *snap*

gearbox can go under normal driving. happened to me twice now.

This happened to my mates silvia. It turned out that the clutch plate was loose. Could it be the slave master cylinder?

If you can select all gears with the engine off, but when the engine's running you can't select, then the problem is the clutch not releasing. Could be a number of reasons. Confirm if this is the case?

Sorry to bump/hijack an old thread. I was just driving my car home and the gear stick will not move from second gear. I have tried selecting alternative gears with the engine off but to no avail, and I do not want to force it as it seems it will simply grind. This luckily only happened around the corner from home but I am a bit concerned.

Car is a 99 Version 5 STi, stock clutch-which seems to be operating as per normal + no modifications. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks.
